About Us

My parents, lived in Sunil (Nanda Devi Sanctuary Buffer Zone) located in Auli Road Joshimath town for over years. They grew Apples trees, wheat, potatoes, oats, and a vast range of vegetables from ordinary cauliflower to exotic artichokes and asparagus. Thye have develop One of the best Eco Garden in town at Nanda Yog Ashram. They had best wild dogs and lived a life of simplicity and sophistication, receiving friends and visitors from all over the world and from all walks of and stations in life, who loved Joshimath Auli and the company of my extraordinary parents.

I grew up on a fully working farm and learnt to milk cows and harvest apples before I could read and write, and was educated by my parents at home in my early years. Growing up with village children of the staff for company made me fluent in the language and culture of the region and after completing my formal education at Rishikesh. I returned to my beloved Joshimath and proceeded to work hard to develop the Joshimath area & Auli as mush as i can from my end.

After prolonged battles with local politicians and people with vested interests. I subsequently founded an NGO, the Himalayan Adventure Social Development Community , which today runs social work, eco treks and a state of the art secondary health care hospital for the people of Garhwal, Joshimath Women Weavers. I am opening my family home as Nanda Yog Ashram to invite people with a love of the Himalayas, nature, and a willingness to experience life as my parents and those before them lived in Joshimath Auli, and to open up my home for discerning people to enjoy and to return to time and again.
